Chapter 165 - 18: Welcome, Battalion Commander
Shen Fei followed behind this family member named Shen Qingyue, with a tall figure and an elegant appearance.
However, Shen Fei noticed that higher-tier Professionals tend to look rather good, it seems that becoming a Professional has some beautifying effects.
Shen Fei listened to her introduction of the Desert Abyss.
"Do you know why the Desert Abyss simultaneously hosts the Oasis and Desolate God factions?"
"No idea."
"Because it’s a conflict between two Abysses. Do you know the name of the Abyss behind Oasis?"
"Oasis Abyss?"
"..." Shen Qingyue was rendered speechless by Shen Fei’s straightforward answer, but she added, "Tree Demon Abyss."
"Tree Demon Abyss? The place where Abyssal Tree Seeds are produced?"
Shen Qingyue heard Shen Fei’s words, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I didn’t expect you to know this."
"Actually, Tree Demon Abyss and Desert Abyss were originally the same Abyss when they first appeared, named Life and Death Abyss.
It’s just unknown why they split into two Abysses."
"Meanwhile, the conflicts began, and Wu Xia is considered the mercenaries in this battle."
"Moreover, it seems that both Abysses have simultaneously changed, and they can temporarily pull Blue Star’s Professionals into their factions."
"Wu Xia naturally intends to maintain the chaotic state of war on both sides before being prepared to act against these Abysses."
Shen Fei nodded.
So that’s how it is.
The main thing he obtained was a rather important piece of information: Abysses can actually wage war against each other?
"Hey, by the way, do you get penalized for killing Abyssal creatures from the same faction?"
"No penalty, but you won’t gain any experience, equipment, or items.
Because whether it’s a Professional’s equipment, items, or even experience, they’re formed by Blue Star’s extraction of Abyssal power."
Shen Fei actually had a similar awareness before.
Previously, he was wondering why Abyssal creature experience was more than the instances.
Strength is one aspect, and it must also be related to the Abyss.
This is also what he inevitably thought about.
After all, being strong makes you want to figure out the source of your power, and the clashes between Professionals and Abyssal creatures.
In essence, it’s somewhat similar to the mutual conflict between two Abysses.
As for why many Abysses covet Blue Star, could Blue Star be special?
Many thoughts flashed through Shen Fei’s mind.
Thinking this way, the Empress’s "Rolling Wealth" could be the ultimate way to exploit resources?
"I wonder if exploding too much equipment or items might weaken the Abyss."
Shen Fei pondered.
If it truly can, he can also let the Empress wholeheartedly slaughter some Low Tier Abyssal creatures.
The equipment and items exploded can be given to the Su Family, or rather, his own enterprise.
Although it may not be much to him now, Shencheng City is, after all, his birthplace.
Promoting its development would be best.
"So why do these Abysses all want to invade Blue Star in the end?"
"I don’t know."
"Then, since the Abyss can devour Blue Star, can Blue Star devour the Abyss?"
"I don’t know."
"Uh..." Two consecutive "I don’t know" responses left Shen Fei unsure whether to ask further.
Shen Qingyue helplessly said, "Brother, I’m just a small Assistant, I can speak somewhat on the Life and Death Abyss.
That’s because I’m in charge of this area."
"Oh."
Shen Fei nodded.
He had previously encountered people too high-tiered, like Han Min, Commander of the Breaking Abyss Army South China Area, nearly second in command in the Breaking Abyss Army.
Naturally, they know many things unknown to the outside world.
They inherently have intentions to cultivate Shen Fei and lead the era’s trend.
So many information considered secret archives externally would not be hidden from him.
But Shen Qingyue is just an Assistant, so naturally, she doesn’t know much.
He should ask his teacher when he has time.
While Shen Fei was thinking, Shen Qingyue softly reminded him, "In the second-level Zhenyuan City.
There are some third-year students and veterans, and they might not know your reputation."
"If they offend you, try to be forgiving, you know that staying in the Abyss for long periods affects everyone’s mental condition."
It’s mainly that Shen Fei’s strength is somewhat excessive, he could be considered top-tier even on the second level.
If a conflict arises, Shen Fei, being a young man, might act rashly and draw blood, making the situation awkward for everyone.
"Understood."
Shen Fei nodded, being quite forgiving towards Professionals stationed in the Abyss.
His parents were part of the Breaking Abyss Army, and he was reasonably knowledgeable about them.
Inside the Abyss, given the oppressive environment and facing constant warfare, psychological issues are normal.
In fact, Shen Fei had previously seen some of his parents’ Breaking Abyss Army comrades who had developed psychological disorders.
This can only be said.
It’s one of the reasons Shen Fei agreed to become Luo Ran’s disciple; he really wants to drive these Abysses away.
Even if they can’t be completely annihilated, at least Wu Xia should shift from a passive to an active state.
The psychological pressure brought by active offense and passive defense is different.
"We’ve arrived."
The entrance to the first level and the second level wasn’t at the same place, arriving at a larger teleportation array.
Upon entering it.
Shen Fei’s vision blurred, then he felt the presence of the Abyss, with a hint of a bloody smell.
It’s definitely not pleasant.
"Hmm? Qingyue, why are you here?" Next to the teleportation array, a girl with a rather delicate face, wearing a Breaking Abyss Army uniform and tall figure was recording something.
Seeing the visitor, she asked puzzledly.
"New recruits training."
"Oh, heard about it, in the first level, right? But why are you here on the second level?"
Muu Qiu was a bit puzzled, then her gaze fell on Shen Fei behind her, "This is?"
"He’s special. His training is on the second level..."
"Are you crazy? The second level isn’t like the first, you know the current situation.
There’s a need for emergency responses anytime! You’re bringing a recruit to the second level, if danger really occurs.
We’ll have to send people to protect him!"
Muu Qiu frowned tightly, her tone was rather irritable.
Shen Fei witnessed the intestinal state of mind under the Abyss as Shen Qingyue explained.
The person at the teleportation array was clearly responsible for receiving visitors, and even the receptionist was so irritable.
Those fighting outside would definitely be more irritable.
Muu Qiu hurriedly waved her hand, "Take him back, the Abyss isn’t child’s play, stay in the first level."
Shen Qingyue was just about to explain, when a tall figure hurriedly approached.
Seeing the visitor, Muu Qiu quickly stood up and said, "Salute to Battalion Commander Meng!"
"Hmm."
Meng Huo nodded casually.
Then his gaze fell on Shen Fei behind Shen Qingyue, showing a slight smile.
Although the smile looked a bit awkward.
"Welcome, Battalion Commander Shen, to our place. My name is Meng Huo.
I’m the Battalion Commander of the Desert Abyss City Second Battalion, the regiment commander is engaged in official duties, so I’ve been tasked to receive you."
